CRANDALL ARAMBULA
Portland, OR • June 2018-Present • Professional Work GOLD LINE BRTOD PLANS Crandall Arambula was hired to create station area plans along a future bus rapid transit line beginning in downtown Saint Paul, MN and extending across five cities and eleven stations. The final BRTOD plans were published in a series of six documents that included a corridorwide vision; as well as a station vision, station area assessments, land use concepts, station access concepts, and an implementation plan for each station. As the Graphics Coordinator, I managed a team of six to produce all of the graphics necessary for the eleven stations and assembled all information and graphics into six final documents. This involved creating weekly work schedules, holding bi-weekly graphics meetings, and managing heavy work loads and tight deadlines to deliver a superior final product that was both on time and on budget. The project was completed in March of 2019. WOODS CROSS STATION AREA PLAN The City of Woods Cross, just north of Salt Lake City, hired Crandall Arambula to create a station area plan for a new commuter rail station. The project included an existing conditions assessment, public engagement activities, land use and station access concepts, and an implementation plan to ensure the success of the project. As the Project Coordinator, I managed a team of five to produce all deliverables for the project and ensure the final product was both client and community-supported and implementable for Woods Cross. The project was completed in June of 2019. STEVENSON DOWNTOWN PLAN Stevenson, WA hired Crandall Arambula to create a downtown master plan. The project includes an existing conditions assessment; public engagement activities; land use, mobility, parking, and urban design concepts; and an implementation plan. As the Project Coordinator, I am managing a team of five to produce all deliverables and ensure a successful and implementable project. The project is set to be completed in November of 2019.

ACCESSORIZING WITH FORM-BASED CODE: Testing the limits of form-based code to densify and diversify housing typologies in West Roxbury
context / high-risk, high-conformity zones
Boston, MA • Spring 2016 • Master’s Thesis
“Accessorizing with Form-Based Code” aims to develop a form-based zoning code for the implementation of accessory dwelling units in West Roxbury. West Roxbury is one of Boston’s wealthiest, most educated, and most racially homogenous neighborhoods, making it a prime location for anti-development sentiments. West Roxbury is also, however, Boston’s least dense neighborhood, with plenty of space for additional housing that Boston so desperately needs. A form-based zoning code will integrate West Roxbury’s unique architectural and urban elements to ensure that ADU development will help enhance and preserve both the value of homes and the neighborhood of West Roxbury. The form-based code comprises of two sections: urban scale and building scale. The urban scale form-based code attempts to challenge the existing urban fabric by creating tangible increases in density and mixed-use zoning. The building scale form-based code, on the other hand, strives to cloak this added density in the existing form and materiality of West Roxbury, causing the ADUs to visually blend into their surroundings. These two systems together will allow for controversial programming such as ADUs and potential mixed-uses to dissolve into the urban fabric, providing additional housing units but preserving the qualities of West Roxbury. This book is the result of the second semester of the 2015-2016 Master’s Thesis Studio. The first semester produced Volume 1 and Volume 2 of “Accessorizing Boston: The Architect’s, Planner’s, and Policy Maker’s Guide to Implementing Accessory Dwelling Units in Boston.” “Accessorizing with Form-Based Code” builds upon the research established in the aforementioned book to create an individual thesis project. Please see Thesis Book for whole project. 14

SCENARIO PLANNING PRESENT
SCENARIO PLANNING 30 YEAR
MANUFACTURING INCUBATOR SUITES + ADULT EDUCATION CENTER There is major development planned in South Boston over the next thirty years. The vast majority of this development is residential, proposed in already dense residential neighborhood with limited amenities. The rst goal is provide the area with the offices, jobs, and retail amenities that the area desperately needs. The second goal is to ensure that new development and the spread of the Seaport District does not completely displace entire demographics and businesses. In order to do so, the building houses incubator manufacturing suites to provide jobs to residents across all education levels. Wherever possible, manufacturing space will be utilized for adult education facilities, to give residents an option to better themselves at low prices.

Kristen Barrow
Caitlin Monahan In order to maximize the flexibility and resiliency of our project, it was essential to analyze the proposed program in terms of usage, user, activity Comprehensive Design Spring 2015 - Sheldahl level, and time of day. By doing so, we were able to find compatible uses that could share similar spaces. Keeping our spaces multi-functional and flexible also proved vital in planning for future adaptations.
SCENARIO PLANNING 80 YEAR
MANUFACTURING INCUBATOR SUITES + COMMUNITY CENTER The 30-year scenario continues on the need to buer the eects of displacement due to heavy development in the area. By using a prototype of pop-up program, the “temporary” bar of the building will hold program on an as-needed basis. The prototype will allow program to either stick and grow or to fail with limited negative aect to its surroundings. The main building still houses incubator suites but has switched to more of a play center for the residents. By now it is likely that South Boston will begin developing more oces, as opposed to just residential. As the need for oces diminishes, the site will transform into a recreation zone for the residents.
Kristen Barrow Caitlin Monahan Comprehensive Design Spring 2015 - Sheldahl
POP-UP PROGRAM As the cycle of obsolescence becomes increasingly shorter, this future scenario embraces the unknown and instead creates a system which is focused on facilitating easy changes within temporary structures. The language of the pop-up program is now fully established and begins to transfer into the main building. The pop-up program will allow for “play” spaces the city still needs, but now it may be changed at a rate that keeps up with its surroundings.

CREATING HOMES FOR A GENTRIFYING CITY Boston, MA • Fall 2014 • Studio Project
This project analyzes a specific location between Boston’s South End and Roxbury, a region that is in socioeconomic limbo. As the South End expands to the west, Roxbury real estate rises and minimizes an already limited housing stock. Many long-term residents are forced to move further south into more affordable neighborhoods such as Roslindale, Hyde Park, or Dorchester. Boston must ensure that families and longterm residents have access to affordable living, while simultaneously producing housing stock for Boston’s growing young professional demographic. Merging socioeconomic brackets requires rethinking of the typical apartment building. The resulting apartment complex utilizes a gradient of private to public spaces designed to both facilitate socialization and create solitary spaces in an increasingly urban environment.

PARIS STREET COMMUNITY CENTER Renovations to a community center in East Boston, MA. Originally built in 1909, the community center required extensive renovations and upgrades to both its programmatic and mechanical systems. I acted as Project Designer and led the design under the supervision of the Project Manager. I was involved in the project from the beginning of Schematic Design to about halfway through Design Development. PRIVATE RESIDENCE High-end residential renovation to a private residence in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. I was involved in the project during Construction Administration. I attended weekly construction meetings, updated punch lists, wrote specification sheets, selected finishes and furnishings, and created renderings for the client. The project was completed one month after my co-op had ended. CHARLES RIVER WALKWAYS Series of underpasses along Boston’s Charles River. The Charles River Conservancy requested a series of renderings to promote and raise funds for upgrades to the river walkways.

SHADOWBOX APARTMENTS
Berlin, Germany • Fall 2012 • Studio Project This apartment complex features a unique ally condition created by a system of balconies, stairs, and catwalks. Rather than conforming to the street’s solid line of facades, the apartment building breaks away from the neighboring party wall, creating a narrow gap for balconies and circulation. By doing so, the balconies have views of the back ally, the bustling street ahead, and the complex circulation network within the gap. Attached to the balconies is a simple glass box, which holds the apartments. There are two apartments per floor, with the exception of the top floor, which enjoys the entire space. There is a solid core in the middle that contains the kitchen and bathroom and helps organize the open space. Otherwise, the floor is completely open and can be personalized to each individual’s wants and needs. The structure is wrapped in a series of perforated metal screens, which can be opened or closed depending on the tenant’s desire for privacy.

LOOP: LAND ART GENERATOR INITIATIVE Freshkills Park, NJ â&#x20AC;˘ Summer 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ Professional Work
The Land Art Generator Initiative is an annual competition designed to create innovative and sustainable public architecture. The 2012 competition was located on the site of Freshkills Park in Staten Island, New Jersey. We were given 100 acres of land and required to create a design that would serve as an event center and could provide enough energy to support 1,200 homes. We decided to approach this massive plot of land by creating a giant ring that looped around a mild hill in the center. The ring adapts to the topographical changes below it, which allow for interesting conditions and spaces. At times, this will create a gathering space, skate park, or large auditorium. Within the ring are multiple smaller circles that provide seating areas, pools, stages, or water collection holes. The entire ring is supported by steel ribs that are covered with flexible solar panels. The angle of the ribs vary throughout the ring to create an angle for maximum sunlight. This project was completed under Kripper Architecture Studios and was selected for publication.

HONEY HOUSE
Boston, MA • Spring 2011 • Studio Project This house features a “honeycomb” spine that ties together a dancer’s and gardener’s home. By weaving two volumes into the spinal axis, the homes are nestled in the strong axiality of the honeycomb, much like a bee building a hive. The honeycomb is a linear structure of primarily glass and mulleins that evolve and change as the design progresses. The linearity of the design is further emphasized by the extensions of the dancer’s studio entrance, the gardener’s storage space, and a line of trees extending from the gardener’s home. Despite the fact that both houses share the same honeycomb spine, each house has a more specific program for the spine. The dancer’s house uses the honeycomb as circulation. The stairs and hallways are all inserted and often supported by the honeycomb. There are very few doors in the dancer’s home, instead relying on open or closed honeycombs to act as doorways. The gardener’s home takes advantage of the honeycomb’s unique ability to filter light and uses the honeycomb as a greenhouse.
